A
When I was younger, I thought I would live in Shanghai forever. But after moving around for several years, I found that things were different from what I had thought before.
I moved from the busy downtown to the countryside around Shanghai when I started elementary school. At first, I thought I was going to hate it, but to my surprise, I found that I preferred the quiet country life over the noisy city life.
The next move was more of a surprise for me. I was having a good time with my friends at school. But all of a sudden, my mom told me that we were going to move to the United States. Can you imagine how I must have felt? My English wasnt so good, though I did know the basics.
The day I arrived in the US was a snowy day. For a girl who grew up in Shanghai and hadnt seen real thick snow on the ground, it was a big thing. I began my school life in a public school. Compared with my school in China, there were a lot more creative thinking questions, which I was better at anyway.
Time flew by and it had been almost four years since I moved. I had new friends, different classes, and many projects to work on. Then again, we moved to Singapore. I have been going to school for about two and a half months. I found out the education here is quite special.
This switch made me stressed. I was confused about the new curriculum (课程), and I knew it would take me a long time to adapt (适应). But what Ive got out of my experience over three countries is that no matter where you are studying, you are always learning. And a piece of advice to people who are going to move around the globe: Its always best to just roll (转动) with it.
